Or you can decide that a full shot couldn't possibly reach the green, and proceed to hit a career shot onto the green.

I was a twice a month golfer up till then, and found my touch on the greens about 5 months ago, and then playing as much as i did during the summer, and being young, it seems to add up. And the only reason its as low as it is is because i had a four round stretch in half a week that was even par.

Definitely doable. This summer I went from a 18 to a 1.3 in 5 months. It took me around 10 hrs of golf a day, so if you can devote 3-4 hrs a day you should be good (especially if you don't play rounds). Try to be honest about how good parts of your game are. I seperated my shots into 4 categories (drives, approaches, short game, putts) and give each shot a score 1-10 on each hole, then use that to dictate the practice for the next couple of days.

If you're playing of a bit under 20 right now, then you still have about 25 shots to knock off your handicap before you would compare to a pro. And all 25 of those shots will get harder to knock off as your handicap gets lower. If you're thinking about playing college, just play as many tourneys as you can. By your junior year most division 1 coaches are interested in players who have a scoring average of about +1 in the tourneys.

I always have a minimum of 50. Beginning of august I took out a bunch of balls from my bag. There were 88 in there (and I always walk). I end up about +1 on balls every round, so it adds up pretty quick.

I'd probably have him swing righty, because the equimpent (especially junior clubs) is tough to find in LH. There are examples of people who are righty and swing lefty (Phil Mickelson) and people who are lefty and swing righty (Trevor Immelman), so I would imagine that it doesn't make a huge difference as long as it's consistent.

Can we get some close ups of those wedges?

You average 3.4 putts on this green?

In your sig it says that it has a fat grip on it, that would definetly make a difference if the rossie had a regular grip. Also check if the length, lie, shaft shape (straight-in, single/double bend, plumbers neck) are the same

No I definitely remember it. He has had multiple ugly tops out of US Open rough.

Adam Scott, cause people take one look at his swing and start gushing about how good he is, but he rarely contends in majors. I don't think Padraig Harrington is overrated now (he deserves all the hype he's getting), but in a year I think he will be. In other words people will talk about him being a threat to win the British or PGA, and I don't think he will show up. And Immelman and Johnson. Since their masters wins, I've barely heard their name on a broadcast.

During the school year, I'm around 10 hrs a week, 1 hr after school every day and 5 more on the weekends. In the summer its about its about 45 hrs a week but 20 of those are spent on the course (but I count them as practice cuz I'll hit two balls off the tee, or work on shots around trees, or from bad spots by the green.)

At alot of the courses I play virtually all the hazards are marked as "Evironmentally Sensitive Areas", meaning that you are not allowed to enter them to hit or even retrieve your ball (or the incredibly tantilizing 100 other golf balls you can see). I mean c'mon, these are areas that have utterly no importance to the environment (that I can see) and I have a hard time believing that 10 or 20 people walking in them a day will hurt them. Especially cuz they used to graze cattle there, which would have a much bigger impact than a couple of humans strolling through.

Not trying to be a pain, but what if you hit a par 5 in two and then smack your putt off the green?

What do you guys think the top five in the world will look like 5 years from now? I know that some of the guys who might be are still way under the radar, so just use guys currently on tour. If you feel like it, you can give a guess at how many points each person will have. For reference, the top 5 in the world as of the end of the PGA Championship: 1. Tiger Woods...........18.36 2. Phil Mickelson..........9.87 3. Padraig Harrington....7.85 4. Sergio Garcia...........6.13 5. Vijay Singh..............5.63 I'll start: 1. Tiger Woods.............17.5 2. Anthony Kim.............10.0 3. Sergio Garcia............7.0 4. Justin Rose...............5.5 5. Robert Karlsson.........5.0

I doubt that Tiger could or would try to carry the stream, as it's 300+ yards into the wind to a 20 yard wide landing zone. And regarding 18 (and 16 and 17, both of which I think are tougher) just attack holes 11-15 cuz all those holes are short irons in.

First even par nine (monday) First even par 18 (monday) First time hitting more than half the greens (monday and wednesday) First under par (-3 ) nine (wednesday) First under par round (-2 ) (wednesday) First shot holed from over 60 yds (wednesday) And I'm even par my last 72 holes!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I love this game

Skip poplar creek, only 6000 yards from the tips. Shoreline is a solid muni but around 11:30 every day a 3 club wind kicks up. The 13th hole is 380, slightly uphill on the approach, and is never more than driver pw. The 14th hole goes the opposite direction, is flat and 380. It is never less than driver 4 iron. Best bang for the buck is probably Callippe Preserve in Pleasanton(20-30 min from SJ), but Wente is definitely worth playing, as is Poppy Ridge(another windy course). Harding Park is a good test if you have the money and time (an hour without traffic from SJ).

If you don't hit the 26* hybrid the same distance as your 4i, then get a 58 or 60 degree wedge.

I know that all the players on the Stanford team get free Nike gear, apparel, and the rest at no cost to the school. Apparently the top 6 players or so get free gear from whatever company they want (not sure if the school pays for it or the companies donate it).

What are you going to do with the Studio Style?

Here's the youtube video: and slow motion:

I'm looking to go from regular to stiff shafts in my driver, 3 wood, and hybrid. I'm looking to spend under 200 dollars for the 3 of them. I know very little about shafts or shaft technology, so I have a number of questions. First, should I use the same shafts in all three clubs? Second, I could use a little help choosing the shafts. In the driver I want something that is 60-65g, mid launch and low-mid spin. In the 3 wood I want a shaft that is 75-80g, mid-high launch and mid spin. In the hybrid I want 85-90g, mid launch, and high spin. I have hit both the graffaloy prolaunch blue hybrid and aldila vs proto and liked them both, but the vs proto is way out of my price range, but are there any other shafts similar to that for much cheaper? Hitting a bunch of different shafts is impractical for me, so that's not an option. Thanks in advance. On a side note, I have a Graphite Design YS-6+ FW in my 3 wood. Their website only has the weight of the driver shaft (65g), so what does anyone know what the FW version weighs?

To me, the new studio selects look really ugly (for a SC) in person. The three red dots in the cavity are too gaudy, and the headcover is a disaster.

That's actually 15 clubs, but if you were gonna use that setup i'd pull out the 17* hybrid
